SLEEP not working on the iPhone

[Millerszone]

SLEEP doesn't seem to be working on the iPhone.

Tried SLEEP 500, SLEEP 1000, SLEEP 5000

Using version GLBasic version 9.026

[msx]

You try this.

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

FUNCTION Pause%: delay%
  LOCAL time_start% = GETTIMERALL()
  WHILE ABS(GETTIMERALL() - time_start) < delay
    FOR i=1 TO 1000; NEXT
  WEND
ENDFUNCTION

this will work but not really help msx because sleep give power to the os . or ?

That's true, but when SLEEP isn't working your only choice is to loop.

I recall something like this being posted before:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

FUNCTION Pause%: delay%
  LOCAL time_start% = GETTIMERALL()
  SLEEP delay%
  WHILE GETTIMERALL() - time_start < delay
  WEND
ENDFUNCTION

That way, if SLEEP works you save processor time, otherwise it just waits anyway.  Someone made a thread on this a while ago...
